form_userptr(3X)		 Library calls		      form_userptr(3X)

NAME
       set_form_userptr, form_userptr -	associate application data with	a form
       item

SYNOPSIS
       #include	<form.h>

       int set_form_userptr(FORM *form,	void *userptr);
       void* form_userptr(const	FORM *form);

DESCRIPTION
       Every form and every form item has a field that can be used to hold ap-
       plication-specific  data	 (that	is,  the  form-driver  code  leaves it
       alone).	These functions	get and	set the	form user pointer field.

RETURN VALUE
       The function form_userptr returns a pointer (which may  be  NULL).   It
       does not	set errno.

       The function set_form_userptr returns E_OK (success).

PORTABILITY
       These  routines emulate the System V forms library.  They were not sup-
       ported on Version 7 or BSD versions.

       The user	pointer	is a void pointer.  We chose not to leave it as	a char
       pointer for SVr4	compatibility.
